The following article almost ran when an error in comminication led the Russian Tsarina to believe Austria-Hungary had attacked her."HE PLAYED RUSSIAN ROULETTE WITH MY HEART"
RUSSIAN QUEEN BLAMES MAGICIAN FOR DIPLOMATIC WOES
MOSCOW - Sources at the Winter Palace claim that Russian Tsarina Rhiannon Davidovna is heartbroken by the betrayal of her close confidant, the Austrian Archduke--so much so, in fact, that she is blaming Gregor Rasputin for her troubles. It seems that Rasputin, who is most famous for his peculiar body odour and his all-black wardrobe, had been encouraging the alliance with the Archduke. "I overheard him telling her that he thought the Archduke was the most trustworthy of all the European leaders," a palace official tells Der Spiegel. "He also said that he thought Austria would be a strong ally for Russia. She's furious with him now, and considering banishing him to Siberia. The other royal advisors are thrilled that they might not have to compete with him any longer."
No one at the palace would comment further on the Rasputin story, though there have been unconfirmed reports that upon receiving the diplomatic missives that revealed Austria's treachery, the Tsarina exclaimed, "At least when England fucked me, he gave me the courtesy of a reach around."
